in thread new XML module

Joke or no joke, this should NOT be in CPAN, this should NOT be work load for testers. I wonder why this module (the namespace for it) was not rejected - can any fool add his own favourite Foo::Bar::Broken?

Now, beginners will think this module is real, and try to use it. That means a waste of development time and it's a very bad name for Perl and the CPAN.

Maybe if it was named Acme::XML::Simpler, or XML::Simpleminded, maybe I could laugh.

    I think we are saying the same thing. As to whether any fool can add his own Foo::Bar::Broken, yes they can.

    Apply for namespace registration

    Please use this form to apply for the registration of a namespace for a module you have written or are going to write. The request will be sent off to the modules@perl.org people who are maintaining the Modules List. A registration is not a prerequisite for uploading. It is just recommended for better searchability of the CPAN and to avoid namespace clashes. You will be notified when the registration is approved but you can upload immediately, there's no need to wait for an approval.
